Poaching is a great way to bring out the delicate flavor of whole fish. A poacher will use less liquid than a pan, but either works. This whole poached salmon is fantastic hot or cold. Serve with a little lemon or your favorite sauce.

Time 35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (750 milliliter) bottle dry white wine
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 rib celery, sliced
6 whole peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1 whole salmon, cleaned
1 bunch fresh dill
1 lemon, sliced

Steps:

  • Combine wine, onion, celery, peppercorns, and bay leaf in a fish poacher. Place poacher over 2 burners on the stove.
  • Rinse fish under cold water, stuff the cavity with dill and lemon slices, and place on the rack in the pot. Cover and bring slowly to a strong simmer (don't boil at any point). Cook until fish easily flakes with a fork, being sure not to overcook, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Drain and serve.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salmon came out a little dry. I think I might have cooked it for a few minutes too long.
